A couple of issues noticed in the HOL-INF-03-m1 Auto Deploy Lab

Location

Issue

Slide 12

The IP address listed for ControlCenter is wrong it should be 192.168.110.10 as per slide 13 and the rest of the lab

Slide 35 & 37

Slide 35 asks you to verify the forward lookup IP address of ESX-01a and ESX-02a in the corp.local domain then slide 37 asked the reverse lookup of the same IPs in the rainpole.com domain….a little confusing due to the inconsistency in the domain suffix.

Between Slide 76 to 77

After rebooting the ESX-01a the host eventual came back up but the host came back up with an error in the vCenter of “Disconnected from host. Cannot verify the SSL thumbprint”. Event date stamp for that event was 6/14/2013 11:57PM

Attempts to connect the host to vCenter again resulted in the error “Cannot complete login due to incorrect user name or password” however I was using the same username and password found on the console of the ESX-01a machine (root, VMware1!). Trying that same password on the DCUI had the same result.

Accessing the IP address of the ESX-01a host using IE, IE complains about an invalid certificate as usual

Issued to: esx-01a.rainpole.com

Issued by: VMware AutoDeploy

Valid from: 6/14/2013 to 12/13/2024

But the certificate itself looked ok

Side 77+

Can’t progress any further with 2 slides to on this lesson.....so close but so far...
